@Ipstenu,
I know it is standalone app. but can’t there be a bbpress forum plugin version for wordpress users?
I follow the http://labs.b5media.com/ and I leaved the buddybar portion.
I successfully install and place the wordpress header and footer in bbpress theme. Than I copy rename bbpress theme style.css to forum.css and place it on wordpress theme directory and put an import function in wordpress style.css. The forum frontpage looks fine but not the others pages/post.
How do you guys do it to look exactly like the wordpress theme eg buddypress site?
I want to place the buddypress nav bars in bbpress forum theme. How do I do it?
Would be real cool if it was a plugin though. That way I could make it as a normal page, instead of recreating a whole new template.
Because bbPress isn’t a plugin, it’s a stand-alone application.
Like buddypress, why not bbpress come as a plugin easy to install forum?
Back in the day, I always saw it as bbPress vs Vanilla.
Vanilla 2.0 is out, as is bbPress 1.0. Vanilla seems to be going in really good direction right now and a lot of excitement is happening.
Vanilla – Project Page
They now offer a hosted service, similar to WP.com
Vanilla – Hosted Service
They also have something like 450+ plug-ins / add-ons
Vanilla – Plugin/Add-on’s
As such, how does Vanilla 2.0 now compare to bbPress 1.0? (please, only compare Vanilla 2.0 to bbPress 1.0 – if you haven’t used either product lately, this won’t be a fair comparison)
Some bug fixes and additional features have been added to 0.9 branch and 1.0 trunk
For those that know how to download them off svn/trac and read the changes on trac, we’d appreciate some testing before a wide release tomorrow.

Notable on the 0.9 are my fast recount functions that will really help large sites, be sure to backup your db “just in case”.
Make sure you update the settings in the bbPress Integration plugin as well and then copy the new code it produces into wp-config.php
Hi,
I had the exact same problem and found a solution after investigations:
Bbpress knows it is integrated to wordpress so it set both its own cookies and the WP cookies. But on the other side, WP does not know bbpress is integrated so it only set its own cookies and forget to set BBpress cookies as well.
How to fix it will you ask…
Well, install this plugin in WP:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/
And voilà ! Just logout and re-login after the plugin installation to make it work.
tha code snippet by clarko seems to do the trick even with bbpress 1.0.1 and wpmu 2.8.4
Yes. It’s a mistake. I need a disclaimer for bbpress.
If you’re using WPMU 2.8+ take out
define( ‘WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION’, 1 );
When I do the:
// Include WordPress functionality
$currDir = dirname(getcwd());
// Make sure this isn’t install or admin (go up if it is)
if(!file_exists(“$currDir/wp-blog-header.php”))
$currDir = dirname($currDir);
if(!file_exists(“$currDir/wp-blog-header.php”))
die(“Cannot find WordPress integration files.”);
require_once(“$currDir/wp-blog-header.php”);
my forum disappears…. This goes into the bb-config.php file right?
Sorry, Everything is running fine. “the page not found” was simply because of the wordpress custom code in the title. I just type in title name and it run fine.
THANK YOU, i was going insane trying to wait for someone to reply!
Mine show show up the header and the footer but the page is displayed on the browser bar as “Page not found” and the page screen is darkened ( not as on my homepage http://nagapress.com) You will see what i am talking about when you see my page- http://nagapress.com/community/
I followed this tutorial http://labs.b5media.com/
How did you start?
if (file_exists(‘../wp-blog-header.php’))
require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);
didn’t work for me.
I’m trying to integrate the themes together, like I did before but now the same things I used to do doesn’t work.
I used
if (file_exists(‘../wp-blog-header.php’))
require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);
in bb-config.php
but when I insert that the frontpage disappears (blank screen).
Anyone run into this?
WPMU 2.8.3
BP 1.0.3
BB 1.0.2
SQL 5
This is bbPress Support Forum, not phpBB Support Forum.
Any custom template I put in my-templates folder does not work anymore.
I have
WordpressMU 2.8.3
BuddyPress 1.0.3
BBpress 1.0.2
1and1 Hosting
MySQL 5
It seem it has a hard time finding the CSS and when you’re in the Admin the thumbnails do not show up.
Same here. Passwords do not work. Users need to reset them.
If this appears in your front-page.php, then you have bbPress 1.0.x and you have a bug
<?php bb_latest_topics_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="nav">', 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
The same bug was in some rare cases of 0.9
and I programmed around it in topics-per-page
I doubt it will work properly on 1.0 but you can try installing the plugin, remove the above line and replace it with
<div class="nav"><?php front_page_pages(); ?></div>
